Summary of This Score
With the Urtext der Neuen Bach-Ausgabe, you have a reference score dedicated to the keyboard, designed for discerning musicians who wish to approach Johann Sebastian Bach with rigor and clarity. The collection brings together 1 to 24 Präludien und Fugen (preludes and fugues) ranging from C-dur (C major) to h-moll (B minor), an essential journey to develop technique, sight-reading, voice independence, and understanding of contrapuntal writing.
The Verzierungstabelle (table of ornaments) is a valuable asset for working on a coherent interpretation: it helps choose and execute ornaments precisely, in line with period practices. This approach is particularly useful for refining articulation, phrasing, and musical rhetoric, whether you play on harpsichord or piano.
In addition to the main corpus, the appendix offers several pieces and variants, including Präludium C-dur BWV 870b (Fassung A) and its variant, Präludium cis-moll BWV 873 (Fassung A), as well as a Fuga As-dur BWV 886/2 (variant). These additions allow for comparison of versions, enrich analytical work, and refine interpretative choices, whether in study, lessons, or concert preparation.
